Psalm 50:1-23, Song of Songs 1:1-4:16

Psalm 50 - start off with extolling the greatness, awesomeness, power of God. Then warns the unbelievers that he will tear them to pieces if they keep speaking against him.  Gives hope in a time like ours. We don't need to worry about the declining Christianity in our country - God will handle the people that speak out against him.

Now ... Song of Songs/Solomon ... the sexiest book of the bible. One of the more ignored books in most churches. We still have so many puritan ideals - it is humorous sometimes!  How many of us long to hear words of affirmation. words of praise. of love from our spouses? I tried to imagine my husband saying this stuff to me - and couldn't keep a straight face.  But to be told how lovely and wanted you are by the person you hold most dear ... it would be amazing!

2:4 ... his banner over me is love.
